I just got as close as I could then I moved the cursor with my finger to the correct spot. I realize if you do not know where to move the cursor this technique does not work.
You can go into yahoo maps or something like that and get a map, then select destination from the map.

Nope... every addressed I've punched in has worked so far. It's taken me over some roads I didn't know existed which was fun when out cruising around...... I have a Garmin in another vehicle and the vette nav has matched it just fine.

Plus I like the HUD integration and when I'm on the road with the stereo CRANKED I like how the system lowers the volume so I can hear the NAV voice commands. Too many short comings for me to make the portable systems worth while.

We've seen this problem a number of times. The ONLY solution is to keep hammering updates to Denso at:

If I enter S.Main it does not allow street numbers, if I select just Main St. it does.
Perhaps it's a bug in the DVD database, is yours a Ver-2 or 3?

With v3, for this address my unit does not allow number entries beyond the 4th digit. It is likely a database or software programming issue. Report it to Teleatlas using the site referenced above.

I don't know about $1800. For the 05s the Nav was $1400. Maybe that's why we don't get the two upgrades.

I was in a friend's Jeep SUV which had their NAV system. I'll take ours anyday. Not user friendly and way to many steps with switches to accomplish the same functions we have with a touch screen. Besides, the interface with the HUD is way to cool.

I like the NAV and will buy it again. It takes some time to learn all of its quirks but overall I'm very pleased. I find it is most accurate in cities, where I need it most. On several occasions "she" has told me to make a left in the middle of a bridge or overpass but that is usually in rural areas.
